TemaTres is distributing the .git/ directory as part of the release #48

I was quite surprised to unzip tematres3.1.zip today to discover a .git/ directory among the usual tematres files. (I use bash-git-prompt, which changes my shell prompt whenever I cd into a git repo.)

I am not sure if there are any particularly good reasons not to do this, but it seems like something one would not want to do.

Hi, @marijane thank you about the notice ... I do not want to include .git in the source code, but when I download the source code do not include the ..git/ directory. How do you do to get the code? ... and do you can help me to exclude the .git directory from the source code? :)

thank you in advance and sorry about my english

Hello @tematres, I downloaded it today from https://sourceforge.net/projects/tematres/.
Note that since .git/ is a hidden directory, you will need to use ls -la to see it in the directory listing at the command prompt. (assuming you are on a Unix-like system.)

Assuming you are using the zip utility to create the file, you would add -x *.git* to the end of the command to exclude it.

Another method would be to use GitHub's release feature, which would allow you to distribute releases via GitHub in addition to SourceForge.

Thank you again @marijane :) I forgot to delete the directory in sourceforge :/ Now it was removed :) To the next release I will try to use GitHub release feature Thank you about your help :)
